Every time I look across my desk and see the picture of Poppi standing with Mike Ditka I just laugh...his personality was contagious; if you didn't know him...you were quick to try...if you were lucky enough to know him...you enjoyed every second. I would give anything in the world to hear one more joke...one more gut wrenching laugh or one more word. I cherish every moment I had with him and feel immense sadness...but just looking over at that picture now brings a smile to my face.
